MIKSI AION TULLA ISONA?
-----------------------
Haluan tulla lent{j{ksi, kun olen kasvanut isoksi---koska se on
hauskaa hommaa ja helppoa. Sen takia on nykyisin niin paljon lent{ji{.
Lent{jien ei tarvitse k{yd{ paljon koulua, heid{n on vain opittava
lukemaan numeroita, jotta he osaisivat lukea mittareita. Luulen, ett{
heid{n pit{{ osata lukea my|s karttoja, niin ett{ he l|yt{v{t perille
jos ovat eksyksiss{.
Lent{jien on oltava rohkeita, niin etteiv{t he pel{sty, jos on
sumuista niin ettei voi n{hd{ tai jos siipi tai moottori putoaa pois,
heid{n on pysytt{v{ rauhallisina, jotta he tiet{isiv{t mit{ pit{{
tehd{.
Lent{jill{ pit{{ olla hyv{t silm{t, niin ett{ he n{kev{t pilvien l{pi,
eiv{tk{ he saa pel{t{ salamoita tai ukkosta, koska he ovat l{hemp{n{
niit{ kuin me.
Min{ pid{n my|s siit{ palkasta, jota lent{j{t saavat. He saavat
enemm{n rahaa kuin ehtiv{t kuluttaa. Se johtuu siit{, ett{ useimmat
ihmiset pit{v{t lent{mist{ vaarallisena, paitsi lent{j{t, jotka
tiet{v{t kuinka helppoa se on.
Ei siin{ ole paljon sellaista, mist{ en pit{isi, paitsi se, ett{ tyt|t
pit{v{t lent{jist{ ja kaikki lentoem{nn{t haluaisivat menn{ naimisiin
lent{jienkanssa, niin ett{ heid{n on aina ajettava ne pois jotteiv{t
ne olisi h{iri|ksi. Toivottavasti en tule ilmasairaaksi. Jos tulen
ilmasairaaksi ei minusta voi tulla lent{j{{ ja sitten minun pit{{
menn{ t|ihin.

Subject: Oh, what a tangled web we weave
This was recently published in the local Milwaukee newspaper. I
present it for your edification and amusement.
Beer maker's quest to compete in the global marketplace [sic]has spawned
some pretty odd and complex relationships. Jack MacDonough, chairman and
chief executive officer of Miller Brewing Company, gave the following
example during a speech [at the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of
Commerce's 28th annual Business Outlook Luncheon.]:
"I will tell you about the tangled web of alliances involving just one
company, Molson Breweries USA, which shares a name with Molson in Canada,
their original parent.
But now Molson Breweries USA is wholly owned by Miller Brewing Company,
which also brews and sells Coors and Coors Light in Canada.
However, Molson Canada also brews and sells Coors and Coors Light in
Canada.
Coors has recently purchased the right to brew one of Labatt's brands in
the US. Labatt is the second-largest brewery in Canada and Molson
Canada's chief competitor.
Labatt sells Budweiser in Canada.
Meanwhile, the Foster's Brewing Group of Australia continues to own 40% of
Molson Canada. Foster's, in turn, is 17% owned by Asahi, of Japan.
Molson USA now sells both Foster's and Asahi here in the USA.
Molson Canada also brews Kirin, another Japanese beer, for sale in North
America.
In England, Foster's makes John Courage, which is one of the brands we
import. But just to make things more interesting, John Courage also makes
and exports Watney's, which is one of John Courage's main competitors here
in the states.
The people who sell Watney's are called Wisdom. They're owned by FEMSA of
Mexico, in whom - you guessed it - Miller has an 8% interest.
And to complete this very orderly and coherent picture, take a guess what
brands the Foster's Brewing Group brews in England: Budweiser and Miller."
MacDonough concluded that "the world's brewers don't have permanent
friends or enemies - they have permanent interests in making money."
